The World

All week long we’re talking with some of our favorite guests from the past year about the year that was. Today we’re having a conversation about the teachable moments of 2010. What lessons can we take away from the major world events of the past year?

We speak with Mark Oglesby, a high school government and civics teacher who was on the show earlier this year. Mark teaches at Howell High School in Howell, Mich.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
